Information
Community
- Sourcingmag.com,
a site that's a good source of information on outsourcing in the IT field, has
put up a new survey. They're
looking for respondents for the 10-minute survey, which evaluates how IT workers are
affected when they move from their company to a service provider in the course
of an IT-oriented outsourcing initiative. Four $25 Amazon certificates are up
for a random drawing among survey participants.
